Posted Queries for February 2000

I am looking for the parents of Squire 1806-?, Mahala ?-1871,
Harmon 1822-1900, Nellie Lewis ?. I believe they were siblings
They were born in VA. Unknown if they were from Washington Co.
Squire Lewis and his wife Katherine Sullivan went to Floyd Co.
KY and settled on Daniel's Creek @1840, Harmon and his wife Dorcus
Prater moved to Morgan Co. KY and settled on Caney Creek @1845.
Mahala Lewis married a Tandy Richard Stratton. There are several
other Lewises in Floyd Co. KY on Daniels Creek and Ivy Creek
named John, Delilah, and Thomas. I have not linked these Lewises
as of Yet. I am currently looking at the family of William Lewis
died 1784 in Washington Co. VA as possible ancestors of these
folks.

I am looking for decendents of Griffith Lewis. Griffith died
1806 in Lee Co. VA. He owned property and was taxed in Washington
Co. VA 1782-85 following years are missing. Married to Mary Brown
undated. Griffith's father was William Lewis of Washington Co.
VA and was named in his will in 1785. Griffith named two sons
in his will in 1806 names Thomas and and William. I would like
information about these two sons if it is anywhere to be found.

John D. Garrett with his wife and children: Myrtle, Ornie, Annie,
and Burhl. I can find no information prior to or after 1910.
I cannot find birth, parental, or death information. Where can

We are calling on all "BAKER-Kin" for some much
needed help. We have traced our Baker-line back to an Elijah
Baker, b. (between) 1786 - 1796. He married "UNKNOWN".
He had these KNOWN children: Bill Baker Samuel B. Baker, b. Abt.
1810 Isaac Baker (our line) b. (between) 1812 - 1818 d. Aft 1885
in Powell Co., KY, and m. Jane STEIN Elijah "Reverend Eli"
Baker, II b. Abt. 1823, m. Margaret Patsy COLWELL/CALDWELL We
know for sure they had some connections to Grayson Co., VA. "Oral
Family History" says that our BAKERs owned the land where
Roanoke, VA presently sits. Issaac, Elijah, and Bill (William)
were VERY COMMON, VERY REPETITIVE names used in our BAKER family.
It's possible that our Elijah BAKER could be the Elijah Baker,
b. 5/9/1789, son of Rev. Andrew and Elizabeth (AVANT/AVENT) BAKER.
Rev Andrew BAKER had other children and grandchildren who settled
in the areas of Hawkins AND Hancock Co's., TN ANOTHER possibility
for our Elijah is that he is the son of Isaac BAKER, b. 1757
in VA or NC and Hannah HOUSTON (they m. 1780) After Isaac and
Hannah married they eventually settled in the Greene Co., TN
area. We've also found an Elijah BAKER who m. a Jane SETON on
11/30/1819 in Roane Co., TN Many of the Virginia / North Carolina
BAKER families settled in the Eastern-KY counties of Clay, Perry
and Breathitt, but our Isaac BAKER (b. 1812-1818) eventually
settled his family in the Estill/Powell Co., KY area. Many researchers
have tried connecting the many "Appalachian-BAKER-families"
with VA/NC locations, however we are trying to get our family
straight. In our rather-large file, we currently have: 14 Elijah
BAKER's, 16 Isaac BAKER's, and 26 William/Bill BAKER's As an
outside chance, does anybody know of any connection of these
BAKERs being linked to either the SIZEMORE or McCLURE families.
We have a rather-large file on John Renta BAKER's family as well
as old notes on "immigrant" Andy BAKER, b. 1604. Also,
has anyone connected these BAKERs with the Isaac BAKER who "co-settled"
Bristol VA/TN with Col. Evan Shelby? This Isaac m. Jane POSTLEWAITE
(sp?) And one final question, has anyone traced the Ancestors
of the Isaac BAKER who was at Boonesboro? VERY ANXIOUS ON A REPLY,
